Fri, 03 Oct 2014 21:00:40 +0000http://veggiegirlanw.wordpress.com/?p=134#comment-8Great entry… I love the first part of Ephesians 6 for parenting. God is very specific in how to parent… It is to be in the nurture and admonition of The Lord. It is to train up a child in the way he should go… Neither one of those referenced verses mention anything about meat/no meat, birth plans, feeding plans, spanking/no spanking, schedule vs. demand, schooling plans, etc. we have one command as parents to raise them up in The Lord. When others voice their opinion which at times will feel very loud and very unwanted remember what our end goal as parents is to be. You guys are going to be great parents, this is going to be one very loved little one and I’m so happy for you!

Yeah I definitely wonder that too–if meat’s effect on our bodies is part of the sin curse, and I agree that God originally designed us to be vegetarians. Almost like by sinning, we opened the door to the pleasure of meat-eating but also its consequences…although obviously meat-eating isn’t a sin…so many possible viewpoints on all of this!! I admire your resolve!

Even if we could get locally raised, “organic” meat, we would still choose not to eat it. The reason for this is that animal protein, no matter how natural can still do damage to our bodies according to the research I have heard about. In the Forks Over Knives documentary, there were studies done all over the world comparing populations who consumed meat and populations who consumed plant-based foods. Here is one example: “While in the Philippines, he (a researcher) made a life-changing discovery: the country’s wealthier children, who were consuming relatively high amounts of animal-based foods, were much more likely to get liver cancer. Dr. Esselstyn, a top surgeon and head of the Breast Cancer Task Force at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic, found that many of the diseases he routinely treated were virtually unknown in parts of the world where animal-based foods were rarely consumed.”

I’m sure that just cutting back on meat would also be beneficial, but I’d rather just cut it out altogether. As for protein, there’s enough protein in vegetables, legumes, and fruit. The only vitamin we would need to get as a supplement would be Vitamin B12. I know that in the Bible, people ate meat. But before sin, Adam and Eve were vegetarians. So I do wonder, did God originally design us to be vegetarians? Or since He obviously knew man would sin, did He give us the ability to consume meat? This is still something I wonder about, but I’m going to try to cut out meat and see if I have health benefits from it.

Like if you knew people who raised pigs or chicken for meat, and they raised them very naturally/healthily, would you eat meat then?

I’m just asking because while I understand that some processed foods can have negative effects on us, since God didn’t design our bodies to deal with the extra junk, it seems to me that He did design us to be meat-eaters. Or at least gave us the capability and allowance to do so, since that happened post-sin. What are your thoughts?
